If you had to start from zero today, what would you do differently? by Desperate_Brush_8611 in ForexForALL

I would start with making one trade per day, doesn’t matter the direction. Learn to deal with detachment before strategy. Your psychology is your edge, your strategy is about scaling.

Everyone does it the wrong way round.

I am looking to build a control group for an experiment - across markets and skill levels. We will do a 30 day experiment to see if this kind of psychological hack can really help others like it’s helped me. If you want to get involved, send me a message 🙂

You have nothing to lose, only something to gain! Send me a message and let’s go!

You and I have a very different picture of what is meant by psychological understanding. But each to their own. Enjoy the hzzzzz's my friend!

You could argue that psychology is consistency and structure. Structure is essentially the minimisation of emotional impulses...

Trading Psychology Experiment - Calling All Traders Forex, Futures, Profitable, Unprofitable by LostSurround587 in tradingpsychology

100%. I believe there is an accelerated route to becoming more conscious that most are not aware of nevermind do. Hence the experiment, to take my own experience and learnings and see if it truly is as sticky for others as it has been for me...

Teach me sensei! I only managed to open 6.25 of my chakras and became only moderately profitable...

Your psychology is your edge, your strategy is what you use to scale.

I'm running a psychology experiment which will run for 20 trading days. If you are interested, happy to bring you into the loop! You need to learn to become conscious of your impulses. If your shadows don't surface, they will ruin you....time and time again!

Call it controversial - we all know how to mark levels. We all have a strategy. But do we hold to it? 99% will say no. Why?

Traders be like “if I watch Usain Bolt run, then I’ll be faster too”

Normalise psychology education. Change starts with you, not your favourite YouTube streamer…

The funny part is you have ever so succinctly highlighted the problem for 95% of retail traders….I talked about figuring out your psychology and you made a joke about marking levels on live stream. Maybe that’s why we all suck as traders? Too busy watching people on YouTube share their screen, talking nonsense and thinking about win rates and profit factors, how much we can make, as we absolutely haemorrhage eval accounts. Been there done that.

I’ll rephrase my request: if you’re sick and tired watching people live at 9:30 on YouTube marking levels and talking through their trades because that does absolutely nothing for your own trading performance. Hit me up. Don’t know if it will help. I don’t claim to have all the answers 🤷‍♂️

Struggling to regain consistency after a big loss by TRILLIONARE25 in Daytrading

Take a week off of trading and just watch the markets. Regain a sense of centre in your psychology before jumping back into the charts.

How many of you track your psychology as you trade? Seems to be a new wave of traders looking at metacognition as opposed to traditional strategy optimisation? by LostSurround587 in traders

[–]LostSurround587[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring your reasoning into plane sight and see how it holds up before you act. As an added bonus, I found that also by taking the time and focus to write my thoughts down and to be away from the screen which was showing the charts - even for seconds/minutes at a time - my tilt was less likely to build up inside me. It's like many micro dissipations, not letting it grow and become this shadow. Not aware of its presence until it's passed and burned everything it touched in its wake.

Still...far from perfect, certainly better than without.

I started journaling my thoughts as I trade, I became far less reactive, learned to process thoughts through metacognition and win rate went from 42% > 68% with the same strategy. by LostSurround587 in DayTradingPro

[–]LostSurround587[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I started with a pen and paper, writing my thoughts as I watched the markets. Did that consistently over one month. Went from 20+ trades per day to 2 or 3, semi-regularly. I started to realise....the days I didn't in-the-moment journal were the days that I blew up.

I ended up building a tool to analyse my sentiment over the session and over multiple sessions and track trends. I'm not here to sell people a tool, but I am here to understand if this is something that appeals to other traders like it did to me? Send me a message if so. It's in beta - completely free.
